Cheap counter top make over
-
Colette on Sep 30, 2015I used it on the Formica counter top of a built in bar. The bar did not have a sink. It held up well and sticky Coke, actual brand, cleaned up easily the next day. It did not damage the finish. I did not know it had been spilled on the counter. I think the texture would be too rough on kitchen counters used every day.Helpful Reply

B. Enne on Sep 30, 2015I used a cheaper stone craft paint over 25 years ago. It wasn't as good quality as the Krylon, and it lasted no problem until I redid my kitchen about 6+years later. I coated it with 3 coats of polyurethane. I didn't expect it to last (everyone scoffed), and it held up. The kitchen designer said he had never seen that and was surprised that it was durable. The only thing is that water spots on it made it go white until they dried for the first few months. Just like a laminate top, I did not put a hot pot on it or use it as a chopping board. I have used Krylon Fusion with no primer or poly on bathroom and kitchen laminate counters and tile backsplashes, and they too held up wonderfully--one spot in the kitchen lost its shine but that is it. They were scrubbed and really lasted (over 12-15 years).Helpful Reply

Robin Robinson Stamm on Oct 01, 2015I did this and it worked but was boring. A year later, I used paint to create a granite look and it's fabulous. http://www.amazon.com/Giani-Granite-Slate-Countertop-Paint/dp/B00VI9RKMIHelpful Reply

Jonnie Hammon on Oct 01, 2015I have heard of it, but to prevent peeling and cracking, use a bonding primer, and a clear, non yellowing polyurethane. I would put no less than three coats.Helpful Reply

Merry Bagley on Oct 01, 2015I used skim stone. It comes in a kit. First you roll on an adhesive, then you roll on a stone mixture, let it dry sand and seal. Everything comes in the kit and it comes in a variety of colors. Maybe it was called spread stone. My daughter and I easily did it. We are pleased with the results. I got it on sale for $90.Helpful Reply
